Porridge Radio

Brighton’s Porridge Radio have shared new single ‘7 Seconds’, following on from their Mercury Prize-nominated second album ‘Every Bad’, which was released in March.

Singer Dana Margolin explained: “‘7 Seconds’ started out sounding really different to how it sounds now. A few years ago I wrote a really slow, long and drawn out song about the end of something that was never right.

“I was sitting with [drummer] Sam [Yardley] early last year and I played it to him and asked him if he could help me make it less miserable.

“He wrote the main keyboard riff almost immediately and it came together really quickly after that; we re-structured and re-arranged it and added the end part, which I think of lyrically as a kind of conversation between two different versions of myself.”
